This is not meant as an insult. I have lived in the UK myself and I can tell you the reason the apple pie looked different is because yours is bland. Ours has much more spice in it. The darkness of the filling that you noticed was cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
I was thinking the pie her grandma makes is a dutch apple pie. Rather than the lattice crust is has a crumble made from flour butter cinnamon and nutmeg. My mom made both. I always preferred the crumble

One thing that I didn’t see any of in the video was that Wisconsin thing where they melt a slice of cheddar on top of apple pie... I always thought it sounded funky - until I tried it. It’s actually really damn good.
For someone ignorant about turnovers, is it similar to turnovers? I'm an Oklahoman that has never had a fried pie. But on a hunting trip in Colorado when I was a teen, an old man in our group who was also from Oklahoma brought something that was similar. It was folded like the pie in the video, but it was much smaller. Roughly the size of a big cookie cut in half.. It was filled with shredded apples, and the dough was soft and light in color. Which lead me to believe that maybe it was lightly baked, instead of fried. I'm not big on pies or sweets, but it was amazing. I've been thinking about those things ever since. Wish I could make them, myself.
Don't knock Sweet Potato Pie. My grandmother used to make it for every Thanksgiving and Christmas and it was amazing, especially when fresh sweet potatoes are used.
I literally cannot eat anybody else's sweet potato pie. My grandma's is just that good.😩 I take pride in knowing the recipe. Spiced to perfection and slaps
Sweet potato pies may look unappealing to some one that hasn’t had them but they are very sweet and delicious. Perfect with ice cream, whipped cream or just by themselves.They are similar to pumpkin pie but much better in my opinion.
The fried hand pies are similar to a fruit filled pasty. We Americans like anything deep fried. Also there is a difference between New York styled cheesecake, Philadelphia styled cheesecake, and regular cheesecake. These are made with cream cheese (like bagels) not regular cheeses.
An interesting fact is that most of these desserts are available all over the states and have been eaten by most Americans. If you don’t like pecans you may find that they are tastier to you when in a sweet treat. If you purchase Philadelphia Cream Cheese they usually have directions for making cheese cake on the packaging.
Sweet potato pie is a must at thanksgiving here in NC. My dad’s grandmother used to make the best sweet potato pie before she passed. She passed the recipe down to my dad and this past thanksgiving was the first time I made them. I got soooo many compliments on making them, I definitely feel she would’ve be proud.
I was kinda surprise not to see banana pudding for any of the southern states. At least in NC it’s at basically every BBQ place, most grocery stores have some versions- usually not worth buying- and someone is gonna make it for potlucks, cookouts, etc.
Love y'all. On the apple pie: You are both correct! Apple crisp is eaten in Autum typically. It is brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, flour and oatmeal (not yet cooked) mix all, spread out on a cookie sheet and bake (not as long as a pie!) It is served warm over or under vanilla ice cream. Apple pie has a top and bottom crust, or a woven crust on top, as showed. An apple crumb pie is an apple pie with this mixture (not yet baked) on top! Oh! My taste is a pumpkin pie over a sweet potato pie (it is sweeter.) Thank you! Bye!
Pies can be topped with lattice pie crust, crumbled brown sugar/spice topping, meringue, or whipped cream. The pie your Nan made sounds like what we call a Dutch Apple Pie
I'm from the south and banana pudding is amazing its definitely worth a try plus it's super easy to make at home but don't use vanilla pudding use banana pudding and fresh bananas its much better.
My mother use to make them for my father for slaving through the week at a plant. I would sit back and watch her make everything from scratch. I don't even like bananas and I still ate it. Sadly she's passed on so partially because of preference in preparation and out if respect we shy away when others make it.
Do NOT use nasty banana flavored pudding! The vanilla of the pudding and wafers is integral to the authentic flavor and is the perfect compliment to the banana.
Hello from Ohio!! Millie you're correct, Fried pie and Apple pie are the same. Fried pie is basically a personal pie, with any type of filling just fried not baked. Also here in Ohio we call it a SnoCone not shaved ice and we have SnoCone stands that drive place to place in the summer and park, so you can get them in alot of flavors
@@michaelmacdermott6340 There’s a difference between a snow-cone and a shaved ice. In the latter, the shaved ice is finer. Snow-has bigger pieces of ice.
@@DravenGal I think you've got the wrong person, that was Jasyn who mentioned snow cones. I only threw the Ohio State Buckeyes responsive cheer seeing that they were from Ohio.
It isn't Vermont Apple Pie unless you have it with a wedge of really sharp cheddar cheese. Clean the pallet between each bite of pie with a bite of cheddar.
The video named beignets for Louisiana, but it could have named bread pudding or pralines. It's a great state for food. If you want to try cheesecake in New York, don't go to Cheesecake Factory. It's a national chain, and you won't get the best cheesecake from them. Instead, go to a local bakery that's known for good cheesecake. Googling "best cheesecake in New York" will give you plenty of possibilities. One reason pecans are popular in the U.S. is that they're native to the American south. I know Millie said she doesn't like nuts, but she should at least give pecan pie a taste. Most people love it. Edit: I thought of another one for Louisiana: Bananas Foster. It was invented in New Orleans.
Oregon native here (don't live there now), I can confirm marionberry pie is a favorite dessert there. It was served at every family gathering and holidays and sometimes just brought home randomly. It's really delicious especially with ice cream! Definitely give cheesecake a try too, so good. Also I'm with Millie I don't like nuts either
Snow cones are made with crushed (ground or chopped up) ice; shaved ice is literally shaved from the ice block; the texture is softer, the flavors lay in very differently. Snow cone ice is more harsh & jagged, because it is basically shattered ice.
There is actually a difference between Snow Cone and Shaved Ice, it's just that it's a hawaiian thing so most mainland americans don't even know. Snow cones are made with a flavored syrup. Shaved ice is shaved off of a block and then they pour a puree over the ice and you get toppings like condensed milk, berries or mochi on top of it. If you ever make it to Maui, I highly recommend going and getting one with guava, orange, and passionfruit purees and mochi from Ululani's :)
Before you go too far into Americans being the 'deep-fry' people, please recall it was the Scots who came up with the deep-fried Mars bar and the scotch egg. Deep-frying began 4,000 yrs ago in the Middle East (Caanan, Egypt, etc). And what would Asian/indian food be without samosas, egg rolls, tempura? Asians even originated the concept of friend ice cream, still very popular in Chinese restaurants and in Japan.
It’s my favorite dessert on the list! I’ve read that it was made for fishermen & other watermen. The fudge icing between the thin layers helped the cake to stay moist while they were out working on the water in their boats.
If you want the best cheesecake in NY go to Juniors in Brooklyn Sweet Potato pie is really good but it really needs to be made by someone from the south who usually have old family recipes from the 1800s
Pecan Pie is the Food of the Gods. I understand everyone has a different palate, but not liking Pecans is a puzzler, it is the best tasting of all the Nuts.
Ditto! I love all nuts& speaking if cheesecake they r thinking of like hard forms of cheese,cheddar,swiss,parmasian, it is made with cream cheese hence the name with Graham cracker crust! We realize Italy& France have amazing desserts but so many immigrants here especially Italians & yhere r great authentic bakeries! Also pre packaged in stores! They r just listing each States mist common because of yhe locally grown,fruits,nuts,confections!!!
Apple crust = no crust with diced apples + other fruits if desired + brown sugar, butter, oat topping. Dutch apple pie is the above with a crust. Reg American apple pie has a top and bottom crust, top crust can vary. The fried pies are some times also called fritters in some places.
When you come to the US, make sure not to forget fresh fruit. We have the best peaches when you eat fresh picked, the juice runs down your chin and same for Washington State Apples. Juicy and crispy. When I went to Hawaii the pineapple was like nothing I've tasted. Try our fresh fruit. ❤ it's best dessert.
Had a few kolaches growing up in Nebraska. However, we usually had cake (chocolate, angel food, etc), coffee cake, cream puffs, fruit pies (apple, blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, peach, etc) or my favorite baked cinnamon apples (or caramel apples)!
Funny fact, about LeMars IA and Wells Blue Bunny. I used to work there back in the early 90's 😁 Every morning there was fresh milk and fresh chocolate milk in the break room for free and usually a selection of different ice cream treats including Shamoo bars, Malt cups, Drumsticks etc etc etc :)
Getting fried dough (with powdered sugar/or even cinnamon sugar) at a fair/carnival is the best experience for me. Besides a classic brownie with powdered sugar. But cheesecake is delicious, it's creamy and has a bit of a flavorful, zesty/tangy kick to it.
I grew up on Nanner Puddin (banana pudding) made with Nilla Wafers and banana pudding and fresh bananas and calf slobber (meringue) on top. We ate it straight out of the oven with the calf slobber toasted. That was how we did it in Texas and Oklahoma when I was growing up. It was the best!!!!!! Now I’m craving some!!!
The ice cream potato is a thing in Idaho because potatoes are something we're known for. But, being one of the few states that have huckleberries, my favorite desserts are huckleberry anything - ice cream, shakes, pies, pancakes, syrups, jellies. We even have huckleberry lemonade and huckleberry vodka. Apple pie has to have a crust on the bottom but can have varied toppings - solid or latticed crust like in the video or a crumb topping, often referred to as dutch apple pie, usually with brown sugar, butter, and oatmeal in the topping. If it has the crumb topping but no crust on the bottom, it's called apple crisp. I love flan and often find it on the menu in many Mexican restaurants.
My favorite pie is Chocolate suicide pie! I've only ever found it in Nevada. It has several different types of chocolate and is topped with whipped cream and shaved Chocolate, with chocolate moose inside! It's called Chocolate suicide pie because it's to die for! It's that good!!!
My favorites from Michigan is the Traverse City cherry pie, Illinois is Eli's cheesecake, Ohio buckeye candy, and Pennsylvania shoofly pie. Frankenmuth in Michigan has Salt water taffy, Mac Fudge, and Stollen bread to die for.
Millie, there are different kinds of pecans. Some are rather bitter but in the Texas/Oklahoma area there is a type of pecan called Papershell Pecans that are much sweeter. Their shell is thinner and easier to crack and it seems as if everyone in that area has a pecan tree or two growing in their yard.
My Granny made fried pies in her iron skillet. I miss them so much!! I have a New York style cheesecake from my great-grandma and it is to die for! When I was a child I lived in Pennsylvania and lived for whoopie pies. Now I have to make dessert. Lok
Pies are made from any fruit basically and apple pies can range dramatically different from others based on spices used in the pies. A fried pie is a pie that is closed and deep fried. Same dough and filling as a the typical fruit round pie counterpart. Once fried typically topped with powdered sugar or dipped in a sugar glaze. Very common in Amish Communities to sell to the 'English' at least in the Amish communities in Ohio.
I live in Missouri and I'll tell you Ooowee Goowee Butter Cake is tasty but it's extremely RICH. So small portions. If there's a bake sale I'll grab a sweet potato or blueberry pie every time because I'm a blue berry junkie. And Buckeye's are a Thanksgiving /Christmas tradition every year. There awesome.
I’ve lived my entire 63 years in Northwest Indiana, near Chicago. I’ve never even seen Butter Cream Pie 😳 The Amish population in parts of Indiana is so small that this is not an “Indiana” thing 😉 But Garrets Carmel and/or Cheese popcorn from downtown Chicago is to die for! 😋
I may depend on the area they are made in but the fried pies I grew up with were made with biscuit dough (the bread not y'all cookies) we usually made apple and deep fried. They are good.
Just to clarify..Snow Cones and Shaved Ice are 2 different things despite shaved ice being called a snow cone in some places. Shaved Ice has a much finer texture, it's more akin to soft snow where as a snow cone is hard packed with bigger crystals, a fresh made shaved ice looks like a heap of fresh fallen snow while a snow cone, or snow ball as it's sometimes called, looks like..well a hard packed snow ball. I've had both..heck I own a manual crank ice shaver I got from an international food market. Shaved Ice originally came from Japan, and in the 1920's 42-43% of the population of Hawaii was Japanese and to this day about 16% of Hawaii's population is made up of Japanese people or of Japanese descent. I'd HIGHLY recommend trying Shaved Ice or Kakigori as it's original name is..the difference between it and a snow cone is noticeable and it puts a snow cone to shame. I live in Georgia, been here all my life and shaved ice on a hot summer day can't be beat by anything except cold sweet tea. Also Pecan Pie is rather popular in Georgia as well due to natural Pecan trees, my aunt has one in her yard and collects them to make snacks and stuff.
I've lived my entire life in Colorado and I've never heard of a Duffeyroll. I've been in Denver many times and I've never seen it on any menu at any restaurant so I'm going to say that this must be a strictly Denver local thing at only one particular restaurant. I wouldn't call it the favorite dessert of Colorado. I'd say the favorite dessert of Colorado is ice cream of all kinds of flavors. There are a lot... and I mean A LOT... of ice cream parlors in Colorado.
Lol my dad was born in Louisanna, New Orleans and we went on vacation to see some family granted it was in Florida since we have some family there he found a kart selling Benee and he was so happy lol
Shaved ice and ice cones are completely different trust me if you every go to Hawaii it is a must. It’s kind of hard to explain but the rice is really smooth. It’s because they have special ice and ice shaving machines
I made some fried pies last summer for the first time ever. It wasn’t as hard as I thought. Just messy and time-consuming. I even made some with fresh cherries. Delicious!
Fried pies are not already made pies that are fried . They are folded over dough with filling inside and deep fried. It's a southern tradition that goes back to the days of slavery. After a slave made a meal that included a traditional pie for the master's family she would use left over dough scraps and filling to make them for her family
Snow cones are a little different than shaved ice. The ice is much finer and more like powder in shaved ice where the ice in snow cones is a bit "chunkier". Basically the same concept but texturally a bit different.
Being from Oklahoma, I live roughly 2 hour drive from that place it showed them eating the fried pies and I've actually been there and tasted their pies and they are pretty amazing
wow, I am from Virginia and everyone I have known in my 53 years of life go for every thing in deserts except for this. It is not that famous. We are big on other states deserts rather than our own. The pecan pie, sweet potato pie, New York Cheese cake Boston Cream , Banana pudding, so on. Dang, I got a craving now. That is why I do not like watching food channels. I would eat to much! Thank you for your sharing of suga things from our Country!
I’m from Virginia too & have never heard of the mentioned dessert. I have heard of Maryland’s though & it’s my favorite on the list. Smith Island cake is AMAZING!
A Texas State Fair 'food try' is a must. While it will have typical pies like Peach, Apple, Cherry, Pecan, Pumpkin and Chocolate...it will have a smorgasbord of fried foods like fried twinkies & fried Ice Cream, corn dogs to name a few, and then to really top it off will be the bbq with slaw, beans and Mac & Cheese...if it isn't there, it probably isn't delicious to begin with.
Some comments for you here. Key Lime Pie is very good. Those beignets in Louisiana are awesome. New York cheesecake or cheesecake in general is one of my favorite desserts.
As a lifelong Wyoming resident, I have never had a cowboy cookie, not sure if I've even heard of them! Not being a fan of coconut, I doubt I'd try one.
I cannot proselytize enough about marionberries. They're a hybrid of various raspberries, blackberries, loganberries, boysenberries, etc. One of the berries in their "family tree" is literally called the PHENOMINAL BERRY and those mad lads at OSU thought "yeah, we can make this better" AND THEY DID p.s. I'm a pie fiend through and through, but in Oregon, marionberry ice cream and milk shakes are probably even more ubiquitous than pie
Im from Minnesota and im guessing our favorite deserts are apple pie or something to do with apple. Have not watched video yet. We are huge into maple syrup.
The fried pies you can get an apple one and they are basically an apple pie. McDonald's has a version of it to a degree so don't know if they sell that in jersey or England but if they do get one and a vanilla soft serve and enjoy both of them together!
Lived in Wyoming my entire life, never heard of cowboy cookies. Neither has anyone else in Wyoming that I've asked. Not sure I believe something is a favorite for the state if I can't find anybody who has even heard of it before and it's not possible to buy it anywhere near me
They absolutely nailed the Whoopie Pie in Pennsylvania. I grew up there, and these were huge.. The video showed a little one, but the ones we made were basically the size of a big hamburger.
Fried pies are similar to fruit pies (baked) but are "better" because of being deep fried! We have a LOT of varieties of desserts made with apples: apple pie (baked); fried apple pie; apple crisp, apple crumble, Dutch caramel apple pie, apple cake, and more. It also makes a huge difference what variety of apples are used in your pies, crisps, etc. MacIntosh are probably my favorite pie apples, (Granny Smith are the green kind, but they get mushy when baked in a pie - which a big "no-no" for baking! Really, you must give the cheese cake topped with strawberries or with chocolate, a try. I think you'd like it. Flan is a nice change of pace, from Latin America - nice with coffee!
I was wondering what they were going to do for my state of Vermont. I'm confused about apple pie since I've never thought of that exclusive to Vermont. I was thinking more of apple cider donuts (which apparently is more New Hampshire) or maple creemees.
Americans also take the ' crumble' and put it on Apple Pie-- Apple Crumb Pie, just another cover, as oppossed to a flat piece of dough. We experiment with all our foods.
There is no cheese as you know it in New York cheesecake, Cheddar, Gouda and such. Cheesecake is made with cream cheese. More like ricotta cheese, but more smooth and creamy. Mixed with other ingredients and baked for 45+ minutes. Slices are small because this desert is very rich in butterfat and sugar.
In Hawaii we call it shave ice, without the “d”. Though there’s many places in Hawaii that sell shave ice, there’s only a few places that sell the traditional style shave ice. Also, we don’t consider this a dessert in the typical sense, but more like a treat, especially during the hot afternoon sun. 🤙🏼
Fried pies are basically an amazing homemade version of McDonald’s apple pies and come with different fillings. Peach is my favorite, but I also like cherry and apple.
I'm shocked that peach cobbler was nowhere on this list. And I'm not even biased towards peach cobbler. I'm just aware of how popular it is. Nearly as popular as apple pie.
I am from Alabama I have never heard of lame cake or whatever they called it, the favorite dessert in bama would either be pecan pie, banana pudding. 😊
Pecans are the only native tree nut to north america, so we use it a lot. Even if you dont care for pecans ussually, you have to try pecan pie. mmmmm mmm mmm.
A bit disappointed that Illinois didn't get Puppy Chow as ours. It's very popular all over the Midwest. It's basically chex smothered in chocolate and powdered sugar...its amazing.
Montana's huckleberry pie is awesome. The video made it sound like huckleberries are domesticated which is false. No one has been able to successfully propogate huckleberries which add to their charm. Hucks have to be hand picked on the mountainsides. They sell for anywhere from 40 to 80 dollars a gallon depending on how they produced that year. It can take 1 to 3 hours of picking to get 1 gallon plus the time driving and hiking to the berry patch. Montanan's guard their huckleberry patch like a pirate guards his treasure! Hucks are wild, awesome, and hardy; just like the people of Montana!
Our apples tend to be very sweet for some reason but some green apple helps burn off the massive sweetness you get. That and cinnamon helps melt it down. I would try doing Korean food videos or Japanese food videos as they are pretty well represented in the states as you turn around there is nice Korean place or Japanese place. Korean I would try to steer towards Korean bbq as that isn’t the normal bbq you see and it has rules. Japanese I steer it towards sushi or real ramen. It’s totally different to what noodle dishes should be. Vietnamese I go towards Pho and rolls. Trust me the food changes so much place to place.
Shaved ice in various forms goes by many names. Depending on where in the U.S. you're at, they might be called snow cones, italian ice, snowballs, slushies.
I like Garrett's caramel popcorn when its mixed cheese popcorn, but as a dessert no give me Eli's cheesecake alot peoples in Chicago like Eli's cheesecake.
I'm an American n I have tried every one of these desserts over my 69 years. I can't pick a favorite but I guess salt water taffy is my least favorite. Always have vanilla ice cream on apple pie. Have you been to all the states?
No, no! Apple pie is sweet enough as is. It should be served with the sharpest cheddar cheese you can get your hands on. And not melted over the pie, or mixed into the crust - a good sized chunk served along side.
This is not meant as an insult. I have lived in the UK myself and I can tell you the reason the apple pie looked different is because yours is bland. Ours has much more spice in it. The darkness of the filling that you noticed was cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
Oh I agree. But as you can tell I like plain stuff 😂😂
Apple pie in the US has Dutch influence in addition to the English influence.

Pecans and sweet potatoes are native to the Americas, which is why you see Americans use them comfortably in different dishes.
Before you go too far into Americans being the 'deep-fry' people, please recall it was the Scots who came up with the deep-fried Mars bar and the scotch egg. Deep-frying began 4,000 yrs ago in the Middle East (Caanan, Egypt, etc). And what would Asian/indian food be without samosas, egg rolls, tempura? Asians even originated the concept of friend ice cream, still very popular in Chinese restaurants and in Japan.
Smith Island cake is truly delicious -- the icing between all the layers keeps the cake really moist.
It’s my favorite dessert on the list! I’ve read that it was made for fishermen & other watermen. The fudge icing between the thin layers helped the cake to stay moist while they were out working on the water in their boats.
If you want the best cheesecake in NY go to Juniors in Brooklyn Sweet Potato pie is really good but it really needs to be made by someone from the south who usually have old family recipes from the 1800s
Pecan Pie is the Food of the Gods. I understand everyone has a different palate, but not liking Pecans is a puzzler, it is the best tasting of all the Nuts.
Ditto! I love all nuts& speaking if cheesecake they r thinking of like hard forms of cheese,cheddar,swiss,parmasian, it is made with cream cheese hence the name with Graham cracker crust! We realize Italy& France have amazing desserts but so many immigrants here especially Italians & yhere r great authentic bakeries! Also pre packaged in stores! They r just listing each States mist common because of yhe locally grown,fruits,nuts,confections!!!
Also I am from SC,love pecan pie& the chocolate pecan one too!
Apple crust = no crust with diced apples + other fruits if desired + brown sugar, butter, oat topping.
Dutch apple pie is the above with a crust.
Reg American apple pie has a top and bottom crust, top crust can vary.
The fried pies are some times also called fritters in some places.
When you come to the US, make sure not to forget fresh fruit. We have the best peaches when you eat fresh picked, the juice runs down your chin and same for Washington State Apples. Juicy and crispy. When I went to Hawaii the pineapple was like nothing I've tasted. Try our fresh fruit. ❤ it's best dessert.
I'm impressed that traditional Norwegian krumkake made the list, for North Dakota. It leaks across the border into Minnesota, too.
You should introduce Millie to the beauty of the US National Parks videos you reviewed before.
Yes, but I think their are better videos.
I don’t know who did this list but putting salt water taffy as New Jersey’s is totally ridiculous!!!!!!! It’s not desert, it’s candy!
Had a few kolaches growing up in Nebraska. However, we usually had cake (chocolate, angel food, etc), coffee cake, cream puffs, fruit pies (apple, blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, peach, etc) or my favorite baked cinnamon apples (or caramel apples)!
Funny fact, about LeMars IA and Wells Blue Bunny. I used to work there back in the early 90's 😁 Every morning there was fresh milk and fresh chocolate milk in the break room for free and usually a selection of different ice cream treats including Shamoo bars, Malt cups, Drumsticks etc etc etc :)
Getting fried dough (with powdered sugar/or even cinnamon sugar) at a fair/carnival is the best experience for me. Besides a classic brownie with powdered sugar. But cheesecake is delicious, it's creamy and has a bit of a flavorful, zesty/tangy kick to it.
Fried pies are basically a pie that u can hold filled with real fruit from apple, to peach, to strawberries, basically any filling u can think of
I grew up on Nanner Puddin (banana pudding) made with Nilla Wafers and banana pudding and fresh bananas and calf slobber (meringue) on top. We ate it straight out of the oven with the calf slobber toasted. That was how we did it in Texas and Oklahoma when I was growing up. It was the best!!!!!! Now I’m craving some!!!
The ice cream potato is a thing in Idaho because potatoes are something we're known for. But, being one of the few states that have huckleberries, my favorite desserts are huckleberry anything - ice cream, shakes, pies, pancakes, syrups, jellies. We even have huckleberry lemonade and huckleberry vodka. Apple pie has to have a crust on the bottom but can have varied toppings - solid or latticed crust like in the video or a crumb topping, often referred to as dutch apple pie, usually with brown sugar, butter, and oatmeal in the topping. If it has the crumb topping but no crust on the bottom, it's called apple crisp. I love flan and often find it on the menu in many Mexican restaurants.
an old American staple I have not had in years is Pineapple Upside Down Cake...Used to be one of my favorites.
My favorite pie is Chocolate suicide pie! I've only ever found it in Nevada. It has several different types of chocolate and is topped with whipped cream and shaved Chocolate, with chocolate moose inside! It's called Chocolate suicide pie because it's to die for! It's that good!!!
Fried pies come in apple, cherry, chocolate, blue berry, strawberry, pineapple, black berry, all crazy flavors
Colachis are fantastic. Versatile because you can choose your filling. My mom makes them with a bit of thin sugar frosting.
My favorites from Michigan is the Traverse City cherry pie, Illinois is Eli's cheesecake, Ohio buckeye candy, and Pennsylvania shoofly pie. Frankenmuth in Michigan has Salt water taffy, Mac Fudge, and Stollen bread to die for.
Love this channel. Subscribed from Tennessee
Really appreciate that! Have a great day!
@@TheBeesleys99 y’all too!

Millie, there are different kinds of pecans. Some are rather bitter but in the Texas/Oklahoma area there is a type of pecan called Papershell Pecans that are much sweeter. Their shell is thinner and easier to crack and it seems as if everyone in that area has a pecan tree or two growing in their yard.
My Granny made fried pies in her iron skillet. I miss them so much!! I have a New York style cheesecake from my great-grandma and it is to die for! When I was a child I lived in Pennsylvania and lived for whoopie pies. Now I have to make dessert. Lok
Pies are made from any fruit basically and apple pies can range dramatically different from others based on spices used in the pies. A fried pie is a pie that is closed and deep fried. Same dough and filling as a the typical fruit round pie counterpart. Once fried typically topped with powdered sugar or dipped in a sugar glaze.
Very common in Amish Communities to sell to the 'English' at least in the Amish communities in Ohio.
I live in Missouri and I'll tell you Ooowee Goowee Butter Cake is tasty but it's extremely RICH. So small portions. If there's a bake sale I'll grab a sweet potato or blueberry pie every time because I'm a blue berry junkie. And Buckeye's are a Thanksgiving /Christmas tradition every year. There awesome.
A proper apple pie slice is often eaten with a wedge of sharp cheddar cheese… so good
I’ve lived my entire 63 years in Northwest Indiana, near Chicago. I’ve never even seen Butter Cream Pie 😳 The Amish population in parts of Indiana is so small that this is not an “Indiana” thing 😉 But Garrets Carmel and/or Cheese popcorn from downtown Chicago is to die for! 😋
Shaved ice is a special kind of snow cone. The ice is actually shaved off a block so it's really like snow.
4:10 we say both but most people do call them snow cones
I may depend on the area they are made in but the fried pies I grew up with were made with biscuit dough (the bread not y'all cookies) we usually made apple and deep fried. They are good.
Just to clarify..Snow Cones and Shaved Ice are 2 different things despite shaved ice being called a snow cone in some places. Shaved Ice has a much finer texture, it's more akin to soft snow where as a snow cone is hard packed with bigger crystals, a fresh made shaved ice looks like a heap of fresh fallen snow while a snow cone, or snow ball as it's sometimes called, looks like..well a hard packed snow ball. I've had both..heck I own a manual crank ice shaver I got from an international food market. Shaved Ice originally came from Japan, and in the 1920's 42-43% of the population of Hawaii was Japanese and to this day about 16% of Hawaii's population is made up of Japanese people or of Japanese descent. I'd HIGHLY recommend trying Shaved Ice or Kakigori as it's original name is..the difference between it and a snow cone is noticeable and it puts a snow cone to shame. I live in Georgia, been here all my life and shaved ice on a hot summer day can't be beat by anything except cold sweet tea. Also Pecan Pie is rather popular in Georgia as well due to natural Pecan trees, my aunt has one in her yard and collects them to make snacks and stuff.
Where I'm from we call them snowballs.
I've lived my entire life in Colorado and I've never heard of a Duffeyroll. I've been in Denver many times and I've never seen it on any menu at any restaurant so I'm going to say that this must be a strictly Denver local thing at only one particular restaurant. I wouldn't call it the favorite dessert of Colorado. I'd say the favorite dessert of Colorado is ice cream of all kinds of flavors. There are a lot... and I mean A LOT... of ice cream parlors in Colorado.
I said the same! Denver native and no one I know has ever heard of a Duffyroll
Lol my dad was born in Louisanna, New Orleans and we went on vacation to see some family granted it was in Florida since we have some family there he found a kart selling Benee and he was so happy lol
Shaved ice and ice cones are completely different trust me if you every go to Hawaii it is a must. It’s kind of hard to explain but the rice is really smooth. It’s because they have special ice and ice shaving machines
I’m from Oklahoma and the fried pies are great! Cherry is my favorite. Although I haven’t had one in a while I definitely want one now!
I made some fried pies last summer for the first time ever. It wasn’t as hard as I thought. Just messy and time-consuming. I even made some with fresh cherries. Delicious!
@@windermere2330 Sounds great!
Fried pies are not already made pies that are fried . They are folded over dough with filling inside and deep fried.
It's a southern tradition that goes back to the days of slavery.
After a slave made a meal that included a traditional pie for the master's family she would use left over dough scraps and filling to make them for her family
Nothing like a nice Vermont apple pie. But sugar on snow is pretty great too
I have a recipe for bourbon balls with walnut pieces. The creamy bourbon center is covered with semi sweet chocolate and is amazing..
Properly made banana pudding is absolutely delicious. That coconut cake like that. Delicious. The Shoefly pie very sweet but good.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t really consider cream cheese to be cheese.
They fry the pies at McDonald's in the UK. But small town pie shops in the US that serve fried pies are amazing.
There is a great big state of Missouri outside of st Louis. We eat more than toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake.
Snow cones are a little different than shaved ice. The ice is much finer and more like powder in shaved ice where the ice in snow cones is a bit "chunkier". Basically the same concept but texturally a bit different.
Being from Oklahoma, I live roughly 2 hour drive from that place it showed them eating the fried pies and I've actually been there and tasted their pies and they are pretty amazing
wow, I am from Virginia and everyone I have known in my 53 years of life go for every thing in deserts except for this. It is not that famous. We are big on other states deserts rather than our own. The pecan pie, sweet potato pie, New York Cheese cake Boston Cream , Banana pudding, so on. Dang, I got a craving now. That is why I do not like watching food channels. I would eat to much!
Thank you for your sharing of suga things from our Country!
I’m from Virginia too & have never heard of the mentioned dessert. I have heard of Maryland’s though & it’s my favorite on the list. Smith Island cake is AMAZING!
A Texas State Fair 'food try' is a must. While it will have typical pies like Peach, Apple, Cherry, Pecan, Pumpkin and Chocolate...it will have a smorgasbord of fried foods like fried twinkies & fried Ice Cream, corn dogs to name a few, and then to really top it off will be the bbq with slaw, beans and Mac & Cheese...if it isn't there, it probably isn't delicious to begin with.
Some comments for you here. Key Lime Pie is very good. Those beignets in Louisiana are awesome. New York cheesecake or cheesecake in general is one of my favorite desserts.
My Mom made apricot fried pies for Dad, but I preferred peach fried pies.
I just had flan for the first time a few weeks ago, and it is the best thing on that whole list. To DIE FOR.
As a lifelong Wyoming resident, I have never had a cowboy cookie, not sure if I've even heard of them! Not being a fan of coconut, I doubt I'd try one.
I cannot proselytize enough about marionberries. They're a hybrid of various raspberries, blackberries, loganberries, boysenberries, etc. One of the berries in their "family tree" is literally called the PHENOMINAL BERRY and those mad lads at OSU thought "yeah, we can make this better" AND THEY DID
p.s. I'm a pie fiend through and through, but in Oregon, marionberry ice cream and milk shakes are probably even more ubiquitous than pie
If you have can biscuits you can make beignets just cut them in half fry them in oil drain on paper towels top with confectioners sugar ! yummy 😋😊
Im from Minnesota and im guessing our favorite deserts are apple pie or something to do with apple. Have not watched video yet. We are huge into maple syrup.
It should have been something like lefse.
The fried pies you can get an apple one and they are basically an apple pie. McDonald's has a version of it to a degree so don't know if they sell that in jersey or England but if they do get one and a vanilla soft serve and enjoy both of them together!
Real New York Cheesecake is a must try. So so so good!
Fried pies are so good. You take a pie crust fill half, fold ove, and fry
We call them Snow ones here too 😊
Lived in Wyoming my entire life, never heard of cowboy cookies. Neither has anyone else in Wyoming that I've asked. Not sure I believe something is a favorite for the state if I can't find anybody who has even heard of it before and it's not possible to buy it anywhere near me
Note: Snow cone or shaved ice is the only yellow ice you should ever eat 😂
great video guys, keep rockin' steady!
They absolutely nailed the Whoopie Pie in Pennsylvania. I grew up there, and these were huge.. The video showed a little one, but the ones we made were basically the size of a big hamburger.
I'm in Mississippi. I love me some banana pudding. Sometimes you can add pecans and pineapple to the pudding. YUM
Snow cones and shaved ice are two different types of ice dessert.
Fried pies are similar to fruit pies (baked) but are "better" because of being deep fried! We have a LOT of varieties of desserts made with apples: apple pie (baked); fried apple pie; apple crisp, apple crumble, Dutch caramel apple pie, apple cake, and more. It also makes a huge difference what variety of apples are used in your pies, crisps, etc. MacIntosh are probably my favorite pie apples, (Granny Smith are the green kind, but they get mushy when baked in a pie - which a big "no-no" for baking!
Really, you must give the cheese cake topped with strawberries or with chocolate, a try. I think you'd like it. Flan is a nice change of pace, from Latin America - nice with coffee!
I was wondering what they were going to do for my state of Vermont. I'm confused about apple pie since I've never thought of that exclusive to Vermont. I was thinking more of apple cider donuts (which apparently is more New Hampshire) or maple creemees.
Americans also take the ' crumble' and put it on Apple Pie-- Apple Crumb Pie, just another cover, as oppossed to a flat piece of dough. We experiment with all our foods.
You should definitely do a video of you two making a cheesecake especially since you aren't bakers. It could be an avenue of channel expansion.
There is no cheese as you know it in New York cheesecake, Cheddar, Gouda and such. Cheesecake is made with cream cheese. More like ricotta cheese, but more smooth and creamy. Mixed with other ingredients and baked for 45+ minutes. Slices are small because this desert is very rich in butterfat and sugar.
In Hawaii we call it shave ice, without the “d”. Though there’s many places in Hawaii that sell shave ice, there’s only a few places that sell the traditional style shave ice. Also, we don’t consider this a dessert in the typical sense, but more like a treat, especially during the hot afternoon sun. 🤙🏼
Fried pies are basically an amazing homemade version of McDonald’s apple pies and come with different fillings. Peach is my favorite, but I also like cherry and apple.
I'm shocked that peach cobbler was nowhere on this list.
And I'm not even biased towards peach cobbler. I'm just aware of how popular it is. Nearly as popular as apple pie.
Been binging y’all’s videos as of late
I am from Alabama I have never heard of lame cake or whatever they called it, the favorite dessert in bama would either be pecan pie, banana pudding. 😊
Pecans are the only native tree nut to north america, so we use it a lot. Even if you dont care for pecans ussually, you have to try pecan pie. mmmmm mmm mmm.
A bit disappointed that Illinois didn't get Puppy Chow as ours. It's very popular all over the Midwest.
It's basically chex smothered in chocolate and powdered sugar...its amazing.
I was born and raised in Denver and I have never heard of something called a Duffeyroll. That video is bunk!!
Montana's huckleberry pie is awesome. The video made it sound like huckleberries are domesticated which is false. No one has been able to successfully propogate huckleberries which add to their charm. Hucks have to be hand picked on the mountainsides. They sell for anywhere from 40 to 80 dollars a gallon depending on how they produced that year. It can take 1 to 3 hours of picking to get 1 gallon plus the time driving and hiking to the berry patch. Montanan's guard their huckleberry patch like a pirate guards his treasure! Hucks are wild, awesome, and hardy; just like the people of Montana!
Our apples tend to be very sweet for some reason but some green apple helps burn off the massive sweetness you get. That and cinnamon helps melt it down. I would try doing Korean food videos or Japanese food videos as they are pretty well represented in the states as you turn around there is nice Korean place or Japanese place. Korean I would try to steer towards Korean bbq as that isn’t the normal bbq you see and it has rules. Japanese I steer it towards sushi or real ramen. It’s totally different to what noodle dishes should be. Vietnamese I go towards Pho and rolls. Trust me the food changes so much place to place.
Shaved ice in various forms goes by many names. Depending on where in the U.S. you're at, they might be called snow cones, italian ice, snowballs, slushies.
I like Garrett's caramel popcorn when its mixed cheese popcorn, but as a dessert no give me Eli's cheesecake alot peoples in Chicago like Eli's cheesecake.
I'm an American n I have tried every one of these desserts over my 69 years. I can't pick a favorite but I guess salt water taffy is my least favorite. Always have vanilla ice cream on apple pie. Have you been to all the states?
No, no! Apple pie is sweet enough as is. It should be served with the sharpest cheddar cheese you can get your hands on. And not melted over the pie, or mixed into the crust - a good sized chunk served along side.
